Pymakr starts but generates errors on each user action - Mac OS X

[Mike K]

Hello,

Creating new issue since similar titles ("Pymakr does not start") were 4 months old.

The first time I used Pymakr, it ran great and sent code to my LoPy perfectly, but now 8 hours later, it is reporting errors whenever I try to open a project, start a new project, etc. An example of the errors is pasted below.

I am running Mac OS X and am used the Pymakr 1.0.0.b8 installer.

Is there a fix for this?

Also, is there an alternative IDE? I understand that Python scripts can be moved to LoPy using FTP, but... really?

Thanks,
Mike K

Same problem with OS X. It worked but crashed after trying to increase font size. Tried deleting application, application files, and user files in home directory. Reinstalled with a new download. Same issue. Won't even start.

Very buggy.

I will try the windows version to see if it is any better.

I've just got the same issue after brew upgrade if it makes sense...

@livius Thanks, I'm coming to the same conclusion. For as much as Pycom charges for their hardware, you'd think they could invest some of that money to produce a usable IDE.

@Mike-K
Do not use Pymakr
use any ftp client and work with it

• some com port monitor

Also, I did try uninstalling then reinstalling Pymakr, but encountered the same issue.
